Since breakfast is the most important meal, and proper nutrition is the solution for malnutrition, TBR did considerable research to develop, manufacture, and distribute inexpensive but tasty, FSSAI (Indian-FDA) approved products, to provide children with the minimum daily requirements of all essential nutrients in a single breakfast meal.

The program is holistic as, in addition to the nutritious breakfast, it also provides children vitamin prophylactic, health check-up, nutrition and hygiene education, and periodically monitors their malnutrition status. It requires about $20 per child for a six-month holistic program, which is sufficient to enhance their malnutrition status.

Enormous strides have been made by TBR since its founding. It has served about 110,000 malnourished children and women by providing about 14 million meals, working with about 70 partner organizations which include corporations, schools, NGOs, hospitals etc. Our goal by 2022 is to impact 150,000 lives. Even this ambitious goal would cover only a tiny fraction of the individuals needing help.
Even though TBR’s basic long-turn mission is to combat malnutrition, because of the tragedy of COVID, there are millions in India (especially people in slums, daily wage earners, migrant workers and other needy people, who have hard time getting a meal. So, our focus since the pandemic has been temporarily to provide meals to the needy. Through the generosity of our donors, TBR has been able to provide more than 4.5 million relief meals, working under the lock-down conditions, with special permission from governmental authorities.
